Scorekeeper interrupts

[BillyMac]

Freddy: Well done. I agree that the information from the NFHS for timers, and scorekeepers, is too detailed for a middle school scorekeeper, and timer, who may only get a few minutes of instruction.

One question regarding: "Notify the timer to sound the horn during a dead ball if there is a situation which demands the attention of the officials on the floor". Are you sure that a middle school scorer, or timer, knows what a dead ball is, for example the dead ball that occurs after every made basket, or free throw, until the opponent has the ball at their disposal? Or that the ball may not be dead just because the clock is stopped, as in a free throw, or throwin, that is at the disposal of the thrower.

P.S. I love those "Dummies" books. I have several of them. Wait a minute. I think that I've shared too much information, and provided some ammunition to other Forum members.
